This drawing is created from a bunch of photos I took while on a hike with my dad in Qingyuan, Guangdong, China. The villages/buildings were mostly abandoned in the valley, but still some people stayed. They make fires and chop bamboos and tend to the chickens and say hi to the hikers that traverse through their seemingly anachronistic lives. Outside the valley the cities are busy, a bit crazed, and very hectic. All through my trip in China and Taiwan I seeked out the rural places, where time is sluggish, and people are not in a rush, and fame and fortune interest nobody... drawing is slow moving too, and I love dwelling in this magical space. It’s like a secret the artists whisper to each other... “there is nothing sweeter... nothing more transcendental than creating...” Also thank you everyone who came to the live stream today on Youtube! Next Monday we are doing a study stream of mountains and rocks (fascinating, I know ). It will be three hours of drawing and everyone brave enough to participate will be favored by the Art God and blessed with new drawing skills. .
